Hibs’ striker Simon Murray anticipates a tough game at New Douglas Park this afternoon against a Hamilton side which contains in-form David Templeton,
The pair know each other from having trained together at Dundee United and Murray knows what the former Hearts’ midfielder is capable of.
Despite that however, Murray is confident that Hibs have enough good players of their own to return to the capital with all three points.
Speaking ahead of the game Murray said: “Hamilton have been on a good run and beating Rangers was a great result for them. They are a very hard working team and, although they seem to be the favourites to go down every year, they seem to get better every year.
“We know it will be a tough game but if we play the way we can then there’s no reason we can’t win.”
“When I was at Dundee United last year, he came in to train with the boys and you could see he was quick and had great feet.
He really looks like he is getting back to the level he was at when was flying and got his move to Rangers.
“You could see that he had great quality and he’s clever enough to drop into those wee pockets of space.
“He is a really good player and we definitely know that we’ll have a much better chance of winning if we find a way to stop him.
“We’ve been watching videos and we know what to expect on Saturday. However, we’ve got plenty of good players of our own that we know can damage them.
